(DEGAS). Henri RIVIÈRE Painter, engraver and illustrator (Paris 1864 - Sucy-en-Brie 1951). Autograph letter signed 'Henri Rivière', Paris March 17, 1918, addressed to Arsène ALEXANDRE Director of "La Revue des Arts" in Paris, about the painter Edgar DEGAS who died on September 27, 1917. 1 page in-12°. My dear Alexandre. You know that I have been quite linked with DEGAS during these last twenty years; also, I cannot resist the need to write you right away to tell you the pleasure that your article of the "ARTS" made me. You said right and all that it was necessary to say of this admirable Artist, especially in this moment, where a whole clique of mercantile layers who want to sell equivocal goods, try to make pass DEGAS for a simple Fireman! I regret never to see you, but I read you sometimes which is a compensation for me! Kind regards to you Henri RIVIÈRE."
